MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ACE

The ACE loan program is part of the state Dept. of Commerce’s VLT loan program, created to serve small businesses with a percentage of the proceeds from video lottery terminals from the state’s six casinos. At least 50% of the VLT program funds must be deployed to eligible small businesses located within a certain targeted radius surrounding the state’s six casinos. Since there are no Montgomery County casinos in Maryland, the MCEDC-managed ACE program will target the remaining 50% of its funding to eligible Montgomery County small businesses.
